How to See Everyone in Microsoft Teams

Since August 2020, participants in a Microsoft Teams meeting can view up to 49 other participants. By default, "Gallery" view shows 9 most recent (or most active) speakers, but you can change this view to "Large Gallery," which allows you to view 49 others if at least 10 of those have their camera activated, and "Together mode," which is available if your meeting has at least 5 people in it. This wikiHow will teach you how to see everyone in a Microsoft Teams meeting by switching to "Large Gallery" view.
